Chapter 10
"You're late Rosaline" My dad barked.
"Sorry" I mumbled.
"Don't mumble, it's improper" mum chastised.
"Sorry" I repeated a little louder.
"Regulus, how was school?" Dad asked.
"Fine, I did good in all my classes"
"Regulus darling it's I did well in class not I did good" Mum said.
"Oh sorry mum"
"It's fine"
"Rosaline" Dad said. "Me and your mother need to talk to you later on today"
"Yes father, mum"
Yeah, I need to leave as soon as I possibly can. I'll write a letter to Mrs. Potter and ask if I can go to their house for Christmas. I know exactly what that talk is. They're gonna tell me that I have to marry a pureblood and I have to join Voldemort…not happening.
"May I be excused?" I asked. My dad nodded his head.
I slipped out of the room and jumped up the steps, two at a time. I went into my room and grabbed a piece of parchment and left. I went into Sirius's room, and sat on his untouched bed. I put the piece of parchement and started to write.
Dear Mrs. and Mr. Potter,
I hope that I'm not catching you at a bad time or anything but I need a favor. I'll understand if you can't help me. Well I guess my favor is this. Well you know my brother…ok of course you know Sirius. I'm really unhappy here, I can't stand it here at all. Sirius and James said that I should have gone with them, but I refused. Now I regret it. Is it too late for me to come? Like I said before its fine if I can't.
Sincerely,
Rosaline Black
I re-read the letter a few times before sending it with my owl, Jazmine. I lied down on the bed to wait for the response. Only Regulus knows that I hide here, sometimes. He better not tell my mum and dad, or else I'll be forced to commit murder, which might or might not be illegal…but then again if I can't get out of here soon enough, and have to join Voldemort, then I'll probably like hurt myself or something. But wait…aren't I to young to become a death eater? I mean Reg is only like what sixteen and they think he's a bit young…
Suddenly I saw my owl fly through the window, hooting as if telling me I have a letter…which I do. It was my reply from Mrs. Potter!
Dear Rosaline,
Me and Mr. Potter would absolutely love it if you come to stay with us for the holidays. I'm sorry that you're unhappy, but I think that you should have come with James and Sirius, right away. Mr. Potter is going to come get you tonight. Actually he's going to leave as soon as we find out it's alright with your parents. Sincderly,
Mr. and Mrs. Potter
I scribbled a reply saying it was fine and then rushed into my room and packed my bags. It being ok with my parents or not I'm leaving. I went downstairs and into our dining room.
"Mum dad I'm leaving to go to the Potters. Mr. Potter's on his way so I just want to say goodbye"
"You are certainly not going"
"I am"
Suddenly Mr. Potter came out of the fireplace. He smiled at my parents who were glaring at him. He seemed unfazed by this.
"I'm just here to pick up Rosaline"
"Out" My mother hissed.
I grabbed my trunk and got into the fireplace. I took a bit of floo powder and said clearly said "Potter cottage". I suddenly found myself in the Potter's house, being stared at by my brother and James.
"James, Sirius bring Rosaline's trunks to her room" Sirius and James mock saluted her. She laughed, but then got commanding again "Go now"
"Yes mother"
"Yes Mrs. P"
I rolled my eyes at them. Sirius stuck his tongue out at me, and I just rolled my eyes at him again. They brought my two trunks up and came back down three minutes later.
"God sis what's in that stupid thing?"
"Yeah I feel as if I walked across the Sahara desert"
"Maybe you're just unfit" I said smugly. Sirius and James shared a look before tackling me to the ground. They tickled me until I felt that if I laughed anymore I would die.
"You three no more rough housing"
"Sorry mum"
"Sorry Mrs. Potter" Me and Sirius said in unison.
Later on we were upstairs in James's room. I was lying on the ground, James was sitting on the floor, and Sirius was jumping on the bed.
"You're gonna crack your head open" I said in a singsong voice. Sirius rolled his eyes and continued to jump…he jumped a tad to high and hit his head. Me and James started laughing hysterically.
"Shut up"
"Aw Padfoot don't be so mad" James said. "I hear madness causes wrinkles"
"Prong's I'm gonna kill you!"
"No killing each other!" I said to the two of them. Sirius just rolled his eyes.
"Why did you need to come here?"
"Mum and dad wanted to have the talk" James got a grossed out look but Sirius nodded.
"You did the right thing"
"Thanks" I said hugging my older brother. Sirius hugged me back.
